Initial declaration

All business corporations or non-profit legal persons that are constituted or wish to continue under a law of Québec must file an initial declaration after their constituting instrument is deposited in the enterprise register. To fulfill this obligation, you may use the Produire la déclaration initiale d'une personne morale online service.

There is no charge for filing an initial declaration if it is filed within 60 days of registration. Thereafter, the declaration must be accompanied by the requisite late-filing penalty. Enterprises are also liable to penal and administrative sanctions if they do not file the initial declaration when required.
